The sweet smell of VICTORY!!

This week Erin and I hit a mini-milestone in our marriage. We have now been married for 7 weeks. We didn't do anything special to celebrate the momentous occasion unfortunately, but this milestone was made sweeter after a small victory last night.

I was recently called into a brand new Elders Quorum Presidency (I'm the Secretary) and since we didn't all know each other too well we were all invited over to the Presidents house to have a little Barbecue. And being a vegetarian barbecue's can be a little interesting, we ended up bringing our own veggie burgers and it wasn't too weird, i don't think we were completely rejected for it. We started out in kind of an awkward huddle as people got to know each other and soon we ran out of the typical small talk things to say that i really hate anyways. The viruses and bacteria in the meat were finally all cooked out and we could begin eating. After dinner we played a game of pirates dice that lasted far too long. And then moved things inside to play the LDS version of the Newly-wed game, called Celestial Companions. It was actually a lot of fun and everyone really started to open up and joke and laugh. And the victory came at 11:30 that night when we realized that we had won the game (against people who had all been married at least 3 years) and we had new friends, and we had stayed up later than we had in about 3 weeks. So overall it was a good night.

And as to not disappoint... i have a few pictures of morphs from my side of the family...

oh my gosh-- that picture of morgelayna is the best!

and i love your comment about all the viruses and bacteria. how about this though: yesterday in sunday school we were talking about the word of wisdom and someone said, "the scriptures say that vegetarianism is not ordained of God." WHAT???? you better believe i had to bite my tongue off to not say anything and get in a really heated discussion with him!

The Hicken parents still beat out the Fillmore parents as "odd ducks of the universe." Sorry Ed and Judy, you just ain't ugly enough....

My kids first comment on the Mon/Aaron morph--that looks like Xander! Those are all so funny!

Melayna said...

Wow -- these morph pics are HILARIOUS! We decided they somehow all look like boys, just very femmy ones . . . I think I need a wall of my house devoted to these lovely portraits. How awesome would that be??

Tom and I love these. Funny how two attractive people blended together can make such an odd looking one.
